Parly Leaders Wrangle Over Tactics Used Chairmen Os Both Political Parties In Sharp Exchange WASHINGTON fINS) — A new sharp exchange over campaign tactics between the two national party chairmen threatened today to carry the bitterness of 1954 into the 1955 session of a Democraticcontrolled congress. j The threat appeared less than 24 hours after the Democratic and Republican leaders in the senate publicly affirmed their intention to work together m the •'closest type of cooperation" in the difficult shift of party control in January. 'The blow-up between Democratic chairman Stephen A. Mitchell and GOP ehairman Leonard Hall came Sunday with Mitchell firing the first shot. In a post-election exchange, the Democratic leader calls on Vice ■President .Richard M. Nixon to "apologize for his campaign excesses.” mainly against Deoocratis senators and senatorial candidates. r' Hall was quick to reply. He accused Mitchell and Adlai Stevenson. the Democratic 1952 standardbearer. of refusing to recognize the danger of Red infiltration and subversion. The Democratic chairman's demand indicated that his party intended to keep alive for future reference the record of the Republican campaign which they charged was one of "sinedr and fear." How much would be made of these charges by successful Democratic candidates now that the election is over remained to be seen after the new congress convenes Jan. 5. , q „„ Two Hoosier Mayors To San Juan Meeting SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (INS) — Puerto Ricans today received ac-! ceptances from two Hoosier mayors for the fifth inter-American ' congress of municipalities. , Mayor H.

Turnpike Opened In West Virginia 88-Mile Stretch Formally Opened CHARLESTON, W. Va„ (INS) — West Virginia's 88-mile turnpike, across terrain considered unpassable only a short while ago, opens today to connect Charleston with Princeton. The 88-mile stretch southeastward cuts 29 miles from what used to he a rugged. 109-mile ordeal which took about four hours to drive. The new time is said to be about 90 minutes. Mountain vistas at their wildest line the 88 miracle miles, which cost more than a million and a half dollars a mile. One tunnel alone, although only a half-mile long, cost some five million dollars. Originally conceived as a superhighway with multiple lanes each way divided by a center strip, the turnpike wound up as a basic twolane, 24-foot roadway with only intermittent dividers. However, there are creeper lanes for trucks on the steeper grades, and heavy duty asphalt shoulders nine feet wide on each side. Provision has been made to four-lane the entire 88 miles at a later date. Its six interchanges and service areas already .feature multiple lanes. The 5 width of the turnpike was cut when costs skyrocketed. The original bond issue of 96 million dollars was exhausted long before the 133 million dollar project was completed, and another issue of 37 millions had to be floated.

Also on each senator's desk were the two-green-covered volumes of printed transcripts of the. Watkins committee hearings on the censure charges against McCarthy. One volume contained the testimony of nine daily sessions and the other was a reprint of the 1952 investigation on McCarthy’s financial activities. The galleries were jammed as the session started, with an Overflow crowd standing in doorways and on steps.

Sign Post Law Is Changed By Stale Specifications On Signs Are Changed INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — State conservationists said the trouble with the sign post law was that no one. had read ft to the trees. • State highway department spec* ifications required that the timber be 75 percent heartwood — the part of the tree near the foot of the trunk con) pared to second growth timber. Several sub-districts of the highway department came up with no sign posts to meet specifications and no venders capable of supplying the needed wood. Adding to the difficulties was the possibility the state workers would break the law which requires a traffic or directional sign be replaced within 24 hours. But if they used lumber available, they would break the sign post specification rule. ’ The department came to the rescue of its workers by rewriting sign post specifications to include northern white cedar, red and black oaks and dense southern yellow pine provided they have )>een pressure treated with either a salt-solution or creosote. Posts still must be fqpr-by-founi ranging from seven to liT feet in length. . ?

George Craig INDIANAPOLIS (INS I — A spokesman for Governor George N.
